How many years did we ride without ABS??? Didn't miss it and didn't imagine what it would be like to have it. Well most of us anyway.

 

&nbsp\\;
&nbsp\\; NO WAY&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\; BAD IDEA

 

A big question you should ask yourself is "do I like my bike?".&nbsp\\; If you like it, and there is nothing wrong with it, and it is not costing you in repairs, then why get rid of it?&nbsp\\; There is always someone out there with something bigger, better, cooler, and newer.&nbsp\\; But you don't have to keep up with the Joneses.&nbsp\\; If you don't like your bike, then do what you got to do.

 

Surely there has to be a way to retrofit ABS onto an '07 and I'll bet it would be a **** load cheaper than the hit you'll take if you get a new one.

 

ABS is not the second coming.If I bought a newbike I would PROBABLY get it but it wouldnt be a deal braker.Interlocked ABS brakes would be much better and im sure will be offered in the future.No way would I sell my bike to get ABS,6 gal tank(I like to stretch every 150 miles anyway)and fumble by wire.Save your money and enjoy what you have,sounds like a nice ride

 

Same here!

Just buy the ABS parts to convert to ABS if you NEED to have it.&nbsp\\; You'll probably still pay less than an ***-raping trade-in!

 

Hey Bro I have the same bike (07 Ultra) and have added a boat load of add ons like you. I would like the ABS and the 6 gal tank but where does it end. I don't think the bath you will take will be worth it. Save the cash and add on some Hog Halters brakes and aftermarket pads I did and you will be surprised at the results. Save the money for gas and ride it like you stole it!

+1&nbsp\\; For me it wasn't even an issue\\; been getting by fine up til now without em.&nbsp\\; Not speaking ill of ABS I'm sure they are 'all of that', I just don't miss what I never had.&nbsp\\; Dealer had the bike I wanted without them and it was fine by me

I know I'm at MISFIT.&nbsp\\; August 22 I'm moving my daughter back into C of C.&nbsp\\; So at 7PM in August in downtown Charleston&nbsp\\;I get to tote her stuff up 4 flights of stairs since the dorm doesn't have an elevator that will be usable.&nbsp\\; For this privledge I get to pay $4k.
&nbsp\\;
I don't see any reason&nbsp\\;I can't get up early Saturday and run over to Lens.&nbsp\\; Going to demo&nbsp\\;changing a tire in the driveway again?&nbsp\\;&nbsp\\;

 

Not if Bear will quit tellin' me I got a flat! Besides, the FLTR is harder to get the wheel off of then the BMW.
